Hypertension in pregnancy, physiological changes, preeclampsia,Abstract
The article aims to evaluate the physiological changes associated with hypertension in pregnancy and the therapeutic approaches used to manage this condition. Hypertensive disorders during pregnancy pose significant risks to both the mother and the fetus. This article reviews the existing literature on the physiological changes that occur during pregnancy-induced hypertension and preeclampsia. It also examines the various therapeutic approaches employed in the management of hypertension in pregnancy, including lifestyle modifications, antihypertensive medications, and close monitoring of maternal and fetal well-being. The findings highlight the importance of early detection, comprehensive assessment, and appropriate intervention in optimizing outcomes for pregnant women with hypertension.
